As the infomercial states all you need to do is 3 minutes a day on this machine and you will have abs like Jennifer Nicole Lee the fitness model who is promoting this product on QVC.
I found the promotion of this product to be extremely misleading, 3 minutes a day on this piece of equipment is not going to give you abs like Jennifer Nicole Lee. Jennifer had those abs way before this piece of equipment was invented (unless she had it hiding in her basement). Spot reduction is a common exercise myth! The reviews I’ve read about this product are mixed. The most common complaint is that using this machine resulted in sore knees (after all you have to be on your knees to use this machine) and that it breaks easily. Most people stated that they “felt it working” (their muscle I guess) and were sore the next day. This is not unusual since you are now using muscles you may not have used in the past. The Ab Circle Pro does come with a nutritional guide and most people who followed this guide and used the Ab Circle Pro for about 20 minutes a day (not 3 minutes) did start losing weight. Well of course if you start exercising for 20 minutes a day and start a calorie restrictive meal plan you are going to lose weight, duh! But you can probably get the same weight loss results by going for a 20 minute walk (and eating healthily).
I do believe that using the Ab Circle Pro and following the nutritional guide is better than doing nothing (sitting on the couch) but I wouldn’t recommend it anyone. Basically after a while, your body will get used to any exercise program and you stop seeing any improvements or gains. Any new exercise plan works for about 6 weeks then your body just gets used to it. I am not quite sure how the Ab Circle Pro gives you a full body workout? The infomercial demonstrates that you can do pushups on this machine but you can also do pushups on the floor (everyone has a floor)! I think I will be able to purchase a lot more effective workout equipment for $200 + shipping & handling! Sorry, as I mentioned before, there is no quick fixes, magic pills etc, etc.

Hi,
I totally agree with you on this. It's impossible to spot reduce belly fat and it's time that infomercials stop insinuating as to that.
I believe that another review of this product which tells the truth is this one: Ab Circle Pro Reviews and Testimonials
Thanks, for the link to this review.
